About JJ Grey and Mofro: From the days of playing greasy local juke joints to headlining major festivals, JJ Grey remains an unfettered, blissful performer, singing with a blue-collared spirit over the bone-deep grooves of his compositions. His presence before an audience is something startling and immediate, at times a funk rave-up, other times a sort of mass-absolution for the mortal weaknesses that make him and his audience human. When you see JJ Grey and his band Mofro live-and you truly, absolutely must-the man is fearless. Onstage, Grey delivers his songs with compassion and a relentless honesty, but perhaps not until Ol’ Glory has a studio record captured the fierceness and intimacy that defines a Grey live performance. “I wanted that crucial lived-in feel,” Grey says of Ol’ Glory, and here he hits his mark. On the new album, Grey and his current Mofro lineup offer grace and groove in equal measure, with an easygoing quality to the production that makes those beautiful muscular drum-breaks sound as though the band has set up in your living room.

I’m so sorry more people don’t know of this man and his band! I’ve seen him live and by far one of the best performances I have ever seen. He has such a great love for music

[@jessicaterrystykes6874]

Mmm hmmm!🥰

[@CarolSawyer-qf2yb]

Great man

[@kszush9575]

There loss!! He and the band are awesome ❤🎉

[@hereskd]

JJ Grey & Mofro.... Are the REAL DEAL ... Best Band you could witnesses Live 2022 !......

[@FirebirdPower-vm2ri]

Great JJ 💖👍🎸 salutations from France 🇫🇷😻

[@85priesty]

This is one of the best live performances ever. My kids who are now just 5 and 6 would be singing along to it at 3 and 4. It's a competition between Diyo Dayo....(My son was in a nappy when he grooved past my bedroom (I was so proud)) but having toddlers singing "Brave Lil Fighter" is an amazing thing...also this music is played at the exact opposite end of the planet...Lake Pedder in Tasmania...is the go to music between sets I would play there....

[@greggoldman]

Two kinds of music fans: People who love JJ Grey & Mofro People who haven't heard JJ Grey & Mofro yet

[@user-xl9pc2vd8j]

you damn Skippy

[@85priesty]

Absolutely. Fits every demographic....nobody knows what it is because I'm on the other end of the world and am so happy Pandora (when it was still around) introduced me to Lullaby while driving down the highway at 3am after a gig, cranked it up, no cars around, beautiful night, and couldn't believe what I was listening to, then it went from there...and the new album is just sensational

[@bobralph5072]

Holy Shit guys, this band has got MOJO.

[@michaelmaas5544]

If you ever get the chance don’t miss seeing him live. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts and he ranks among the best!

[@hamzabaayu2155]

JJ Grey and MoJo

[@giannmi5821]

JJ Grey is a genuine heretofore unknown gem. Many do know him but he could/should easily be a household name.

[@robertburnett8139]

One of the greatest bands on earth ❤

I just found JJ Grey a couple years ago & so glad I did. What a soulful voice. Swamp Rock Funkin Blues as I believe Selwyn Birchwood coined it.

I follow music fairly closely and just heard of him about 8 months ago. My GOD! Where have they been most of my life?! He will be here in St. Paul, MN in March '24. You better believe I'll be there!
